Training workshops for planners
BRANCH delivered a programme of workshops for planners in all three partner countries. The programme was designed to increase understanding of practical actions planners can take to facilitate wildlife adaptation to climate change. A 'how to' guide was produced following the events, which provides guidance to enable partnerships and authorities to run their own workshops.
The UK workshops:
- Provided an introduction on the impacts of climate change on biodiversity.
- Presented examples of innovative practices and provide expertise for building spatial plans.
- Highlighted EU, national and local planning policies and the wider policy context.
